“Child, I said dust mites of opportunity -- Lord help us, Jesus.” Roger Q. Mason (they/them) is an energy like no other. When they were twelve years old, Mason felt the most free when standing on stage -- which was taken away by queer shaming and gener policing. After spending years, reclaiming what they lost, Mason became versed in writing, though they kept performing and writing separate. “At that time, I was interested still in being a man of letters -- so I still had a very two dimensional literary relationship to writing. I hadn't quite understood that writing was a blueprint, at least for theatre, I hadn't understood writing as a blueprint for performance.” Mason always identified as a multi-hyphenate, yet was socialized into ignoring that aspect of their artistry. Eventually, they found the freedom of expression to become the multi-faceted they are today. Today, Mason continues to promote freedom of expression by helming the New Visions Fellowship, an innovative and rigorous year-long professional development program created to support emerging Black trans and gender nonconforming (TGNC) playwrights. The 2021 New Visions Fellowship playwrights will each be awarded $5,000, fully funded by National Queer Theater, to develop a play, musical, or performance experience of their design and choosing. National Queer Theater will host a professionally cast and directed reading of their play at the end of the program. They will also have the opportunity to participate in professional development sessions covering a wide range of artistic topics. In addition, they will receive a five-year complimentary membership to The Dramatists Guild including access to contracts, business advice, and career services, to help protect the artistic and economic integrity of their work. Take some Meyer Lemons and turn it into Meyer Marmelade and listen to this episode where Michael and Mason speak on the Auteur, Queer relationship to dramturgy, and how multi-hyphenating is much like gender, blurring the lines of the binary -- and so much more.  Roger Q.

What exactly is the Serenbe Institute for Art, Culture and the Environment and why did Steve Nygren start it? As a restaurateur, Steve Nygren owned multiple locations and had a home in Midtown Atlanta, the city’s arts center. He saw firsthand the importance of supporting the arts and how it can strengthen and build healthy communities. Serving on multiple boards he came to realize how arts organizations continually struggle to receive sufficient funding even when the broader community and foundations do provide support. So when Steve decided to build a community from scratch, he knew arts would be an integral part of Serenbe and wanted to build in a permanent source of funding that would give an organization a financial springboard; so he created a stand alone non-profit organization, the Serenbe Institute for Art, Culture and the Environment. Built into the organization is a 1% transfer fee on every house sold or resold in Serenbe, and 3% fee for every piece of undeveloped land sold; since its inception, Serenbe has contributed over $4 million in funding to the Institute.Once all the legal details were in place the next step was finding someone to run it. John Graham became that person, starting as a consultant for the Institute and after becoming enamored with the community he decided to stay and became the Institute’s founding Executive Director. The first arts program, AIR Serenbe, an artist-in-residence program, kicked off the Institute, with big plans to fund a pottery studio. There was early success with the residency but no permanent home, artists stayed in resident’s extra bedrooms or garage apartments. Since then Serenbe partnered with Auburn University’s design build architecture program, Rural Studio, to build two dedicated artist cottages on the Art Farm at Serenbe. Then in 2009 Brian Clowdus showed up suggesting Serenbe needed a theatre. The Institute granted him a start-up budget of $40,000, and Serenbe Playhouse was born. Now 10 years later, it is a nationally-recognized outdoor theatre producing six site-specific productions, musicals and plays each year. Since then, the Institute has grown, introducing Terminus Modern Ballet Theatre in 2017, a Serenbe Fellows program, Serenbe Film with more units and programming that bring all forms of art and environment programming to the community and visitors from around the globe.Questions Answered:What is the Serenbe Institute for Art, Culture & the Environment?Why was it important for Steve Nygren to honor the arts in a specific way at Serenbe?How do Serenbe residents support the Serenbe Institute?How did Steve Nygren get the idea to use transfer fees as a permanent source for arts funding at Serenbe?What was the first arts program in Serenbe?How did former Atlanta Ballet principals end up creating a company under the Serenbe Institute?

Justin is always back and forth between working in different locations of theatre, but finds Atlanta to be the place to be. Justin talks about the life as an actor. He is always looking for work and makes it a point to say that the agent can only get you the appointment, and the rest of the work is all on you. They close out the episode with his word of advice being to “have fun.” It’s hard work and there’s always time to be serious, but if you’re not having fun then it’s all wrong. Justin tells the parents to support their young performers and keep on with the encouragement.
